The 25-year-old Goeckner-Zoeller split last season with the Augusta Lynx and the Dayton Bombers, appearing in just 43 games due to injuries. The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder, tallied five goals and added 13 assists for 18 points in his first professional season.

A native of Los Angeles, Goeckner-Zoeller played his college hockey at Princeton University, where he was a teammate of Falcons' defenseman Daryl Marcoux. He finished his collegiate career ranked fifth in school history with 73 assists, and twice during his four-year career he led the team in scoring.

"Grant was a highly-touted scorer coming out of college, and a couple of injuries last season hampered his production," Falcons head coach and general manager Matt Thomas said. "We look forward to him being an impact scorer this season. His size will play a factor in opening up the ice for himself and his teammates."

Van Culin appeared in 65 games as a rookie for the Falcons last season, scoring four goals and adding 21 assists.
